SPLENDID LYCEUM
COURSE FOR UNION
, A splendid lyceum course of attractions
hus been contracted for by
j . Grace Circle of the Methodist church.
x The opening number is scheduled for
next Tuesday night and will be Lieurance's
Symphony Orchestra of Chicago.
This organization is one which
has been especially coached by Mr.
Thurlow Lieuance, the well known
composer and authority on Indian music.
There are seven artists in the
company, including Miss Violet Falk,
the contralto soloist. The second number
of the course is Oyapela and Co.
Oyapela, which means "singing
water", is the niece of the chief of
the Creek Indians. She is one of the
literary minds of her race and her
program is a story that is new. She
translates in fascinating stjte the
myths and legends of her peopfr and
the audience gets them lirst\yand
just as Oyapela learned them aAMind
the camp tires of her people. Her
great-grandfather led the Creek Indians
from Georgia to Oklahoma after
the Revolutionary war. An interpretation
of the wooing of Hiawatha
with appropriate and beautiful music
will be a feature of Oyapela's appearance
in addition to the myth and legend
recital. With her is Miss Fannie
Wienstock of Milwaukee, violinist,
and Miss Gene Burton, pianist, and
their part, on the program fits in well
with Oyapela. This attraction is
booked for December 5th.
The third number is the Bell Bunging
Male Quartette. A quartette of
clever young Americans appearing in
tuneful vocal melodies, bell ringing
numbers of real merit character
sketches and original specialty productions.
These young men are all
extremely versatile artistics. Their
performance has brilliancy, snap and
appeals to the host in the musical natures
of their listeners. They sing
true and ring true.
The Parker Fennclly Duo is the
fourth number of the course and this
company gives a fine program of
short plays, humorous and serious interspersed
with monologues, piano
logues and musical readings*. It is a
wonderful, ^onip.niy.
^ Ph8" filth numbeV is the Chicago Ladies
Sextette?is an orchestra worthy
of the name of the great city they
> represent and they please wherever
they go. The rare combination of
genius, experience, versatility and
genuine ability have brought the Chicago
Ladies Sextette to a position erf
prominence in the pronounced successes
of concert organization. Hearing
them is convincing proof of this.
The Grace Circle is to be congratulated
in undertaking such a wonderful
course for Union and they will be I
out for the next few days selling sea
son tickets for the five attractions at
a very low cost. These same attractions
are booked in all the principle
cities and towns throughout the South
by the Alkahest Lyceum System of
Atlanta, the strongest and oldest Luceum
Bureau in the South today. The
attractions will be given in the High
school auditorium and no more tickets
will bQ sold than will cover the limited
seating capacity of the aditorium.
' The members of the Circle expect tc.
dispose of all their tickets within a
few days. Adults' season tickets for
the five attractions, $2.00. Child's
season tickets, $1.50. In addition to
the tickets being sold by the ladies
sae may be purchased at Tinsley's and
all the drug stores.
Stills Captured
Rural Policemen McDaniel and
I>awson have put in some effective
work this week.
A whole outfit was captured at
Red Point, including 250 gallons of
mash.
Another 2 barrels of mash was destroyed
and a furnace torn up at
Red Point.
One outfit was torn up located on
the Joe Gist place, now owned by. Dr.
Going, near Broad river.
One barrel of mash was destroyed
which was located near Mr. Sam Gnrner's
place northeast of Union about
7 miles. ?
The officers say they are >y?ring after
the illicit outfits and it is certain
that their dijip^nce will greatly di^minish
the supply of illicit liquor.

WILL MAKE GIFTS |l
l TO INSTITUTIONS
The University of South Carolina,
y the Citadel, Clemson college and the c
n College of Charleston will soon be 1
i, given a bequest of $10,000 in the will c
- of J. A. Chaloner of Cobhani, Va., ae- t
Q cording to an announcement made by c
f Mr. Chaloner yesterday morning. The c
s gifts to the South Carolina institu- 1
h ions, Mr. Chaloner announced, will 1
el be made in the form of deeds, the dis- v
J position of the bequest in each in- r
s stance being left in the hands.of the
1 university and college authorities. r
X The bulk of his fortune, Mr. Chal- \
c oner said, goes to the universities of d
e North Carolina and Virginia, in which i
e states he has large property holdings, d
i South Carolina, he said, he considers t
i "his ancestral estate," and here on his n
B first visit of any length he has found r
. both Columbia and the university very tl
beautiful, he said. It is rather re- n
, markable, Mr. Chaloner pointed out, ^
? that despite the fact that both his j;
I mother and his father were New
) Yorkers he should be descended on <
, both sides from South Carolinians.

' related by blood to both Gen. Francis I1

' makes him feel especially close to the

LITTLE REVEALlI
BY NAVAL EXpTS
Washington, Nov. 22 (By it^e Assorted
Press).?Sessions Jspval ex>erts
of the "big three' in 'the arms
onference remain wrapped- in mysery
today so far as any official word
>f what transpiring goes/ UnofTiially
spokesmen in some cases gave
lints and half glimpses tha^t-revealed
ittle but involve technical Questions
vhich only serve to confuse, fay men in
laval matters*'
In the American viewpotafc there is
10 good reason to bring public
iew all the almost incomprehensible
liscussions of the experts!. 7What is
n progress, it was pointed out to_
lay, is a conference of equal# of which
he only product can come by a unanimous
agi'eement and thehj/is every
eason to expect that sue)^ $n agree
nent is to be reached 8050? that will
lot carry widely from fhe American
iroposals as to naval redactions and
imitations.
In shaping their suggistions, the
American delegation took Ifrto considration
many things beside* the mere
[Uestion of capital ship tfWinage, in
crms 01 wnicn the plan Was finally
et down. Estimates of naval strength
f each power included, -1$ is said,
stimates of each of its wfcole build eg
programs and of its financial

The 5-5-3 ration of the* American
eplacement scheme to ep/i competiive
building and all its eylls and the
leet strength that would' temain uner
the proposed immediate reductions
on the eve of a ten ; year compete
building holiday both are under,
toon to reflect this summary of maters
not susceptible of mathematical
rcatment.
So in the Aiperican vieSii the quesion
understood to have jbeen raised
iy the Japanese as to the-'exncl sta'e
f completion of the battldfchAp tyiutsu,
vhich Japan would be caled on to
chap .as a part of her abafjdoned prorram,
is immaterial. insisted
nd Great Britain. For each of those
towers it would mean more than a
ingle additional ship.
The United States has three ships
/hich would be retained, it is conended,
under any argument tha4
/ould permit the Mutsu to survive,
f the cleancut proposal of Secretary
lughes to cut the knot of competi
ive uuuuing at tne line 01 iNOveniDer

f these three might be retained by
he Uni d States, for they ranged on
lovember 10 from 80 per cent compete
for the Colorado to 64 per cent
omplete for the West Virginia. And
he American or British equivalent
or the Mutsu would be more than one
hip each, if ratios of existing
trength are t<5 be followed.
It is because of these consideraions
that American officials appear
opeful that in the end the work of
he experts will come out at practical
y the place the American plan did

een raised as to the effect of differnt
methods of calculating tonnage,

hat the 5-6_3 ratio nis wholly fair.

PRISONERS MAY
BE PARDONED
Washington, Nov. '22.?Extension of
executive clemency to offenders
against the war time laws now serving
prison sentences will be given
early consideration by President
Harding, it was said today at the
White House. The subject was discusser!
at. the cabinet meeting today
and it was understood that u policy
of leniency toward these offenders
where possible was generally approved.
The president has asked the attorney
general for a digest of each of
these cases and Mr. Daugherty expects
to have the histories of the war
law prisoners completed in two
weeks.
Under the administration's policy
1J 1? ? ? -
uiv-ic vywuiu uk 110 sweeping prociiimation
of amnesty, it was said oftieiaily,
but each case would be considered
on its merits separately and
military as well as a civil offender
would be considered. However, the
president is understood to view with
disfavor the release of persons who
advocated property destruction or industrial
offenders, although particular
attention will be given those
guilty of infractions of disciplinary
regulations of more or less seriousness.
There axe, according to Mr. Dauglierty,
about 75 civilian war time law
offenders now serving sentences in
federal prisons and 14 soldiers who
would come within the clemency progrant.
A study of the treatment of this
class of offenders by foreign nations
as well as the precedents established
in this country after the Confederate
war has been begun by the department,
Mr. Daugherty declared, to aid
the administration in reaching its decision.
He indicated that the justice
department would favor freedom foi
those prcsioners by pardon, commutation
of sentence or parole where the
facts in the various cases and good
conduct! records would warrant it
Mr. Daugherty also declared he intend
to obtain from the district attorneys
throughout the country a list ol
ti*e cases of war law offenders still
'tiTmdtrig' f&r rofeTSJerntitm-" vrtifc-sr-vicvi
10 bringing them to a close.
The question of freedom for Eugene
V. Debs, Socialist loader, imprisoned
at Atlanta, will be treated
separately, Mr. Daugherty said, adding
that recommendations to the president
on the subjects have been cumlili'tfvl
nlthniiorh it wna iin<li>r-o rwi.l
there would be no possibility of action
before Thanksgiving. Any aflirmativc
action in the case, he said, would bo
either a pardon or a commutation as
Debs was not eligible for parole, which
requires that the prisoner should have
served one-third of his sentence. Debs
will not have served a third of his ten
year sentence until next August.

she dusted olF the two doors introduced
by the prosecution for ting"
print evidence, some time after th.
linger prints were supposed to ha\c
been made by Arbuckle and Mis

prove that, in the dusting process sin

Arbuckle pave her a tip of $2.50 f<>
eleanin r his room and offering he.

LITTLE PROGRESS

at ions relating to both the Far East
f and armament limitation moved more

, China's economic embarrassments
. formed the text of the Far Eastern
discussion, which resulted in the ap;
pointment of a subcommittee of repj
resentatives of nine nations to study
he whole subject of administrative
. autonomy for the Chinese republic,
< with particular reference to tariff and
ax restrictions. The land armament
. problem also was considered at vari[
his informal conferences during the
j lay and a meeting of the armament.
committee of the whole was
called for toorrow with the ex,
nictation that Premier Br and of
ranee would say a last word as to
. lis country's attitude on reduction of

mxious to bring the question to a
mint of a formal expression by the
(inference before his departure for
I 'ranee.
On the side of naval armament, in'
formal exchanges continued between
tulividual delegates and naval ex>erts
with an air of growing contilence
that details of the American

It is possible that the naval plan
